“I think we know that we get to push it even further,” Adam Pally, who plays Max, tells The Hollywood Reporter. “We have this great time slot after Modern Family that’s just like so many more viewers we’re going to get. And I think that the writers, instead of toning it down for that, we get to go even further. I’m really looking forward to that.”

“Like everything I think was fun about last season is getting jacked up this season in a good way,” Casey Wilson, who plays Penny, adds.

The season starts out pretty dynamically for their two characters. Max tries out an honest living and Penny buys her own home, declaring this “The Year of Penny.” Later this season, we’ll meet her fabulous mother played by Will & Grace’sMegan Mullally.
